It’s Play in Hospitals & Healthcare Week and this year it's celebrating it's 50th anniversary! Our incredible Play Teams at Basildon, Broomfield, and Southend Hospitals are going all out to celebrate - with therapy dog visits, children’s entertainers, ceramic painting, storytelling, and much more. Play isn’t just fun - it’s powerful, even more so during a hospital stay. It helps reduce anxiety, build confidence, and supports recovery. You can help bring more joy to young patients by donating to benefit our children’s services fund: www.msehospitalscharity.co.uk/one-off-donation #PlayInHospitalsWeek #PlayInHealthcareWeek #BasildonHospital #Basildon #BroomfieldHospital #Broomfield #SouthendHospitals #Southend #NhsCharity (fb)

A legacy gift helped fund Basildon Hospital’s first Inherited Cardiac Conditions Nurse in its initial one-year pilot, changing lives like Emma’s. Diagnosed with a hereditary heart condition, Emma received life-saving care and support for her family - her daughters were screened early, giving them hope, and all-important knowledge and understanding for their futures. Gifts in wills like this create lasting impact for patients and their families. You can leave a legacy too. We offer a free online will-writing service with Octopus Legacy - every gift, big or small, makes a difference. 👉 https://octopuslegacy.com/online-will?channel=partner&utm_campaign=msefree&utm_source=msefree&utm_medium=social #BasildonHospital #LegacyGift #NhsGiftInWill #NhsCharity #NhsDonation #HeartHealth #FreeWill #LifeSavingCare (fb)
